Travis followed Neden up stairs but waited inside as they spoke to the spriggans outside, quickly getting them to agree to letting Travis out and not immediately attacking him. Agreement was that he stuck with them and out of sight of the town, for his as well as the town’s safety. Travis quickly got to discussing their plans for defending the town for attack; their possible numbers, main points they were going to hit, strategy, waves, and much more. Neden wanted some defense around the lake, but Trav argued, talking about the Branded only know about Zada and he was pretty confident she could take care of herself.
The two of them quickly headed out to the woods to get in position, Travis would stay on the outskirts and try picking off hunters from a distance as well as try to keep any back that would try to come from the woods, knowing at some point they would. Neden said she would stick with him as back up, but Trav knew that it was more of babysitting than helping him out, though he understood why.
The attack quickly took off as they got to the edge of the woods on one side of town, screams started to come from throughout the town and Hunters began moving in. Travis and Neden got the drop on one of the main groups, quickly taking them out. Travis knew how they were trained and how they would fight, so it was easy to counter their moves and quickly put some down. He didn’t worry about Neden as the angel could take care of themselves and they certainly did with their daggers. After putting down the first group the two smirked to each other and went after a few more hunters, slowly splitting away from each other, but Travis felt the precense of the forest beings were still watching, babysitting, him. Though it was helpful as the occasional hunter would trip over something or seriously get pulled up into the high trees.
It was easy for Travis to pick off hunters from the woods after he made sure his flank would be covered, and he quickly hid in a bush. He had a suppressor on his rifle so attention couldn’t be brought to him, but there were only so many hunters on the outskirts and screams still coming from inside town. Stay in the woods Travis, it’s safer for you. He remembered Neden telling him. But he wasn’t helping just from the edge, and he came back to help. Travis sighed as he tucked some of his stuff away in the bush and quickly headed into town, not sure what the spriggans were going to do, but hoping they were busy with other hunters.
Travis quickly turned the corner as he got into town, already running into a few hunters, as well as other greythorne citizens, but got away mostly unscathed and not injuring any citizens, though most of them were just scared of seeing him. As Travis continued through town he heard a commotion down an alley and went to check it out, seeing multiple hunters cornering two people, two people he recognized. Phoenix and Alex.
“Hey assholes!” Travis yelled towards the men, quickly turning towards him. ”It’s the traitor! New target, dead or alive.” The guy hunter in the middle shouted as he went to charge at him, but conveniently got pulled to the ground by a vine. Another man came at Travis and was able to cut him on the arm before he tripped him and slammed him into the ground, knocking him out. But he was quickly pulled off and thrown aside by another man, the two exchanged blows as Trav started getting the advantage. Though some screaming distracted him and he looked to the side to see a hunter rotting. His skin and gone from a normal tan color to a greyish tone and some parts even turning black, the man crumbled into a pile and Travis quickly saw the source of this. Alex.
But while Travis was distracted with a man rotting to death, the hunter he had pinned kneed him in the gut and shoved him off, separating some distance between them. The two were probably about 8 feet apart when the hunter took our two knives and swirled them around, showing off his skill. Travis knew him, a hunter specialized in close combat and skilled with knives and swords. He smirked as he stared at Travis. “Can’t save them all, monster lover.” Trav just rolled his eyes and quickly pulled his pistol out and fired one shot into the man’s leg and another two into him, causing him to fall limp.
Travis dusted himself off, quickly looking around and making sure it was clear, and looking back at Phoenix and Alex and seeing they were safe. “Good job there, nice to see you two taking care of yourselves.”Trav said with a light hearted smile.
